The Nation : 6th Chicago Judge Indicted

A sixth Cook County, Illinois, judge was charged in the federal government’s Operation Greylord investigation of corruption in the nation’s largest court system. A federal grand jury returned a 39-count indictment against Judge Reginald Holzer, 57, charging him with receiving $200,000 in gifts and financial benefits from persons he appointed to receiverships and other court offices since 1970. Indicted along with Holzer was Chicago real estate man Ernest Worsek, who allegedly gave the judge $40,000 in financial benefits in exchange for property receiverships. The three-year investigation has yielded 26 indictments
